More knowledge acquired... I used simple dd to create a usb from debian- live-8.3.0-amd64-gnome-desktop.iso. This image has NO EFI structure or files at all, so it can only boot in legacy bios mode. When the asus bios has CSM enabled this live image boots perfectly. I think the evidence is

I have discovered the "strange" device format of the image is a hybrid iso, and gparted simply does not recognise this as meaningful. I was able to mount the iso as follows: sudo mount -o loop ./image.iso iso-contents/ ... and then the mounted directory allows me read-only access to the file
